SME Executive Director

SME understands the need for an accredited safety certification for the mining industry, both domestically and internationally, and is committed to make it the premier mine safety certification program in the world.

DR. ANDREW P. SCHISSLER PE

IAMSH Coordinator

All the current efforts of the SME CMSP program, which build upon the excellent foundation of the previous 25 years, have three objectives: zero accidents and incidents at mines and mills, increase the already excellent international stature of the CMSP, and achieve third party accreditation in 2018. Highlighted activities include having formed and working with a panel of subject matter experts to write questions for the exam, and the convening of a Cut Score Panel who will take the first examination to determine the passing score for future test takers. It is an honor and pleasure to work with the world class safety personnel working on the CMSP.
